Mathias Kiwanuka does not chase vengeance. But he does know when his team has something to prove. And when the Giants linebacker reflects on the beatdown his squad received from the Saints last season, he knows what must be done.

“We’re not that team that showed up down there,” he says. “And if we want to be successful, we have to play way better than that.”

That’s something all the Giants want to do on Sunday against the Saints.

A year ago, a reeling Giants squad walked into the Louisiana Superdome and limped out after suffering a crushing 49-24 loss. And while the Giants recovered and went on to win the Super Bowl, the embarrassment of the blowout — and the fact that New Orleans has recorded two straight monster wins over Big Blue — has not been forgotten.

“It’s definitely something in the back of your mind, to know that they pretty much embarrassed us the last time we played,” says linebacker Michael Boley, who missed last year’s game with a hamstring injury. “The whole mind-set is ‘Don’t let that happen again.’ ”

That’s an idea that’s been mentioned throughout team meetings this week. The Giants still recall how a 21-3 halftime deficit just kept growing, how the Saints “kicked the s--- out of us,” as defensive coordinator Perry Fewell says.
